Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham admits team’s form is a concern

The Ibrox men have been determined to finish off their Championship title push in style Rangers keeper Wes Foderingham admits the Light Blues are worried by their recent wobble.

The Ibrox men have been determined to finish off their Championship title push in style.

But instead, they have stumbled towards the line after conceding nine goals in the space of just three games.

On Saturday, their calamitous defending even cost them the chance to claim the flag as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Raith Rovers.

It was a day of mixed emotions in Kirkcaldy for stopper Foderingham. He was to blame for Rovers' second goal after letting James Craigen's strike slip past his palm into the net but made amends in stoppage time when he turned away Fifers substitute Harry Panayiotou's last-gasp penalty.

The Ibrox men celebrated that save wildly but there was to be one last sting in the tail as on-loan Leicester frontman Panayiotou bundled home from the resulting corner.

They will have a second go at wrapping up promotion on Tuesday when they host Dumbarton but with an Old Firm semi-final clash in the William Hill Scottish Cup looming later this month, Foderingham confessed Gers will need to find a way to tighten up at the back and quick.

He said: "Losing nine goals in three games is a little bit of a concern. But prior to that we hadn't conceded many.

"Defensively we were disappointing today and we must do better.

"I should have done better for their second goal today. It took a big deflection but I got a big enough hand on it to push it away.''

But Foderingham believes his side will bounce back from their Stark's Park slip-up and finally end the Ibrox outfit's four-year nightmare by beating Sons in front of a packed-out home support.

"It was a roller-coaster of emotions for us on Saturday," he said.

"It wasn't a great start to the game for us but we got ourselves back in it.

"We got into a winning position and to throw it away at the end is really disappointing.

"If I'm honest, I thought I'd won it for us with the penalty save. But you can't switch off until the final whistle is blown and Raith caused us problems all day with balls into the box. We didn't deal with the one from which they scored at the end.

"I don't think nerves played a part in it. It's just a case of us not defending properly in the box. We went a little bit longer late in the game so maybe that was nerves.

"But we've just got to do the defensive side of the game better. There was only a couple of minutes left and we knew what was at stake.

"We'll have to look at the goal again on the DVD and see what went wrong.

"We can clinch it on Tuesday now and it's obviously a case of when not if.

"To win it in front of the home fans will be special so we have to forget about Raith and win the game against Dumbarton.

"We want to put on a proper performance and win it in style on Tuesday."
